Be it known that I, Isaac Omvna JOHN-' SON, a citizen of the United States, residin at Kirkland, in the county of Coffee an State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Securing De vices for Whee s, of which the following is a 's ecification, reference being had thereln to t e-accompanying drawin The invention has for its object to rovide animproved means for holding a w eel upon a shaft.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein Flgure l is a view showing the lmproved driving mechanism as it would ap ear a, lied to a mill. Fig. 2- is a view apng t e oken away.

the manner of securing thecollar to the shaft. V t

to the accompanying drawings by 'nurnerals w-it will be seenthat the imroved device comprises a platform 1 which -1s provided with a number of outwardly exdinally extending grooves 10.. A king-Qwheel 11 is provid' i '-'9 and thus-prevent the collar from slipping.

tending" lugs 2 by means of which the platform 'is secured to posts 3'. Vertical standards tare secured to thebaSe-Iadjacent to the lugs 2 ,and at their-upper ends-are secured to a second platform 5 which is pro vided atitscenter with a bea'rin 6. Afver-r tical shaft 7 is passed through t e bearingfi and has its lower end resting in a socket- 8.

At its upper end the'shaft is provided'with. aseries 0 notches 9,- -and also with longitud in the inner surface .of its hub-.wit slots whichre ster. withthe slotslO and the wheeLis, ihe din place -by having ta cred lugs 12 driven, through the slots an secured in place." i A' collar 13 composed of a pairof 'lat'es; 14,; is secured around the shaftT- an i the inner surface of each of theplates. is pro vided with lugs 15 which enter thefnotehes A-A of Fig 1 looking down, the s okes of the king wheel bein r ig'. 3 is an enlarged sectiona view showing upon said outer surface of sa'i Bracing arms 16, are secured at their upor ends to the spokes 17 of the king wheel i y means of nuts 18 and at their lower ends are fitted into cars 19, said ears being formed upon the. plates 14.
